Haiti ban to cost exporters US$500.0M in one year

Santo Domingo.- Dominican Exporters Association (Adoexpo) president Sadala Khoury on Monday warned that if Haiti´s ban on domestic products lasts one year, the country would lose out on around US$500.0 million in exports to that country.

He made the statement during a meeting with the World Bank over the Haitian government´s measure, which he called arbitrary, and will jeopardize the neighboring country´s consumers.

Khoury said that the World Bank will provide technical and financial assistance to promote exports to other countries such as Jamaica.
